What Is Aixbt?

Aixbt is an AI-powered influencer built to connect with the crypto community in a fun and easy way. It was created by a user named Rxbt through Virtuals Protocol.

Aixbt is fully automated and focuses on giving financial tips, sharing crypto market insights, and posting entertaining updates. It mainly hangs out on X, where it chats with users, shares market opinions, and keeps things lighthearted yet informative.

Aixbt stands out because of how it looks at the market. Instead of digging into technical stuff like whitepapers or code, it follows the buzz in the crypto space, tracks what people are talking about, and uses that to give market insights.

Furthermore, Aixbt stands out due to its personality. The project acts like a laid-back, meme-loving “degen,” which is a big part of the crypto culture. Its casual tone and relatable style make it feel more like a friend than a boring bot.

AIXBT is the native token of the project. Holding a large amount of AIXBT tokens gives users access to the Aixbt Terminal, a premium market intelligence platform. The AIXBT price hovers at around $0.30, as of February 11, 2025.

Aixbt Terminal is more like the pro version of the free Aixbt on X, packed with in-depth tools and insights. However, access to the Terminal requires holding at least 600,000 AIXBT tokens (worth around $180K as of February 2025) — which makes it pretty expensive.

How Virtuals Protocol Powers the Creation of AI Agents

Virtuals Protocol is the platform behind AI agents like Aixbt. It allows users to easily create and launch their own AI-powered agents that can perform tasks like market analysis, social media engagement, and more.

The protocol currently operates on two blockchains: Ethereum and Base. Its target market is primarily gaming and entertainment applications, where AI agents can enhance user experiences through personalized interactions.

To create an AI agent, users need to purchase VIRTUAL tokens, the native currency of the platform. Each agent requires 10 VIRTUAL tokens to launch (about $12 as of February 11, 2025).

Once the tokens are staked, the agent can operate and interact within the blockchain ecosystem.

Similar to the popular Solana-based meme coin launchpad Pump.fun, Virtuals also uses a bonding curve model to manage token liquidity and trading.

When an AI agent is launched, it gets a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and enters this bonding curve, allowing users to buy or sell it based on demand.

These tokens work similarly to company shares, representing ownership in the agent’s future earnings. The tokens trade in liquidity pools paired with $VIRTUAL.

If the agent’s market cap reaches $420,000, its token’s liquidity pool is launched on Uniswap, making it fully tradable.

It is worth noting that revenue generated by agents doesn’t go directly to token holders. Instead, it’s used to buy back and burn agent tokens from the open market. This mechanism aims to reduce token supply over time as the agent generates more revenue.

OpenAI Latest to Jump on the AI Agent Trend

In January, OpenAI unveiled its first AI agent, dubbed Operator. This new AI agent, available as a research preview, can control a web browser to complete tasks like booking travel, shopping, or making reservations.

Operator works through a dedicated browser that mimics how humans interact with websites using OpenAI’s advanced CUA (Computer-Using Agent) model. Initially, it’s rolling out to U.S. users on ChatGPT’s $200 Pro subscription plan, with plans to expand globally.

The AI agent can handle tasks like shopping, delivery, dining, and travel. However, OpenAI has placed safeguards to ensure user control. For example, Operator requires user confirmation before finalizing orders or sending emails.

The launch of Operator comes as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman started the year by predicting that 2025 would be a big year for AI agents. “We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents ‘join the workforce’ and materially change the output of companies,” he wrote in a blog post.

The Bottom Line

The rise of AI agents like Aixbt is opening a new chapter in the integration of AI technology and cryptocurrency.

With platforms like Virtuals Protocol making it easier to create these agents, the possibilities for creative and impactful applications of AI in the crypto world are only just beginning.
